Editorial Review:

Yeah Dave” Romanelli puts chocolate, wine, and excellent tunes right on the path to enlightenment. What's not to love?

David “Yeah Dave” Romanelli is kinda hip, kinda goofy, and occasionally really outrageous, an unlikely guru who is reinventing the quest for enlightenment. For Yeah Dave, the path to ecstasy doesn't require any previous experience with yoga, meditation, or wellness. He shows us how to find transcendence through everyday pleasures, like admiring the sunset or rocking out to your favorite band. “There is a place where the chocolate tastes sweeter, the music sounds better, the inspiration feels richer, and the visions look clearer,” writes Dave. “That place is the Moment.”

Yeah Dave’s Guide to Livin’ the Moment offers an alternative to the crazy, over-stimulating, distracted world we live in today, a world in which we watch the news while eating, eye our email while conversing, and forget to notice the full moon while texting. On our mission for speed, movement, and stimulation, we risk missing our life. Yeah Dave’s book gives us our life back, one beautiful, delicious, and funny moment at a time.

Yeah Dave’s Guide will make you laugh out loud while taking you someplace totally unexpected. Through hilarious vignettes about his dorky moves on the dance floor, his Crackberry addiction, and his tryst with Hot Horny Married Woman, he shares fresh and unforgettable wisdom. Without dogma or anything too “out there,” Dave makes you want to slow down the blur of modern life and find the full flavor, power, and passion that can only be found in the Moment.

A fascinating look at the Apple's current signature product 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book takes a unique look at Apple's signature product and how it has changed the way people listen to music. The book is divided into two sections.

The first section consists of the first three chapters. The iPod is introduced, and its basic functions and history explained. The rest of the book is the second part. It covers a large number of iPod topics at random. Material covered includes homemade iPod ads, the custom iPods of some celebrities, iPod DJs, and products that have been invented as a result of the iPod's existence. Stylistically, the book is designed to resemble the iPod. For example, the cover resembles the front of an iPod, and the table of contents looks like an iTunes library list. In spite of being 160 pages long, you can read the book in less than two hours due to the large number of colorful photos present.

The book is more about the cultural impact of the iPod than its inner mechanics. It is not one of those "Missing Manuals" you often see. There is a fascinating exploded view of the iPod internals on pages 36 and 37, but more interesting - at least to me - was the discussion on iPod jacking starting on page 103. There are also stories about people using their iPods to block out the rest of the world, people using the white ear buds to show they are part of the "iPod group", and alternatively, people who use ordinary earphones to hide the fact that they are using an iPod who are trying to assert that they do not follow the crowd.

There are humorous stories about the perils of being an iPod-using Microsoft employee, and serious ones such as the one about posters that mimic iPod ads but are actually protesting the Iraq war. There really is something here for everyone. Don't let its "coffee table book" look fool you - there really is some deep and thoughtful material here.

Editorial Review:

Wired news editor Leander Kahney follows up his bestselling The Cult of Mac with The Cult of iPod, a comprehensive look at how Apple's hit iPod is changing music, culture, and listening behavior. The Cult of iPod includes the exclusive back story of the iPod's development; looks at the many ways iPod's users pay homage to their devices; and investigates the quirkier aspects of iPod culture, such as iPod-jacking (strangers plugging into each other's iPods to discover new music), as well as the growing legions of MP3Js (regular folks who use their iPods to become DJs). Four-color throughout.

Master Visually iPod and iTunes 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is filled with very useful information. It is easy to follow and look for certain topics.

Disappointed in myself 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book recently as I wanted to learn even more about probably the greatest, most enduring gadget of this generation. Unfortunately, and I entirely blame myself for not reading further, the book is about 24-30 months out of date. This, in gadgetry terms, is aeons. Nonetheless, I found one or two things I didn't already know, so it wasn't entirely wasted. I guess what is really needed is an updated version to take in the latest ipod developments.

Don't waste your money. 1 out of 5 stars.

Three hours of reading and I still feel helpless with my I-touch. I am a collage grad. I've read text books that are better written.

Great resource! 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I bought the book first and then bought my IPOD! The book was a great resource for a 'techy' novice like myself and was a great help in getting started! Damon kept the language simple, but made sure you understood the IPOD jargon. My friends and I trade tips now that we all have the book. When I ran into something I wasn't sure how to handle, the book enabled me to get unstuck. I also appreciated the size as well as the ability to condense the necessary information to be able to enjoy the IPOD quickly!

Editorial Review:

I love this book! It shows you how to protect your work 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I really love this book! It explains in plain English how to protect your creations, whether they are artistic or useful. I sent it to a friend, whose brother invents all sorts of handy little gadgets, and he uses it. I sent it to my mother, who is a painter, and she uses it. I also sent it to a friend who writes how-to manuals, and he uses it! The book is easy to understand, and it's full of wonderful photographs and entertaining examples of the use of trademarks, copyrights, and patents. I never thought learning how to protect my work could be so interesting!

Everything You Need To Know 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

When does a great idea turn into a personal fortune? How about when you hit the "send" button? Whether you're a novelist, inventor, a blogger or someone with the best chili in your town, today's technology makes it possible for the innovator toiling away in a kitchen or a garage to become an international marketer. It's also the perfect opportunity for your idea to become someone else's fortune. And that's where Mostert and Apolzon come in. They are two of the world's top intellectual property lawyers and, without a sentence of legalese, they define the major forms of intellectual property, dispel myths and tell you what you can do to register and keep your idea your own. The book is also colorfully illustrated with case histories of how products from Coca-Cola to Velcro became household words and how they stay that way. If you're thinking maybe your recipe or poem or song should be shared with the world, save yourself a lot of aggravation and put this book on your shelf.

Editorial Review:

Clear, concise, and accessible, this practical guide will give readers an unprecedented introduction to the fascinating world of Intellectual Property, one of the hottest and most misunderstood topics among business owners, inventors, and anyone with an idea. Frederick Mostert, one of the world's foremost experts, will help readers understand how, why, and when to protect their ideas and inventions.
